5 Facts You Should Know When Taking The Dreaded Driving Test !

  1. Make sure you have both parts of your driving license when attending. If not you wont to able to do it!
  2. Arrive at the test center no more than 10 minutes before the test start time. If you arrive to early you could interfere with someones test plus the examiners do not appreciate it.
  3. You don't need a Driving Instructors car ! Most cars as long its in a fit state and legal can be taken to the test center. You will need a suction rear mirror, try Halfords
  4. Take your confirmation letter plus your theory certificate. Although you can still do your test if you forget them its not uncommon for the agency to make a mistake on booking info.
  5. Relax, believe it or not the Examiner has less paper work to fill in if you pass. They do want you to do well

Driving Lessons for anyone 14 years or older

I'd like to introduce to you my under 17's off road driving course.

The course is an exciting way for under 17's to get a head start in car control and safety. The course teaches you various skills such as:
  • Moving off and Stopping
  • Changing gears
  • Steering techniques
  • An introduction into reversing
  • Emergency stop!
All this is achieved in 3 hours and the pupil will finish the course with confidence, knowledge and road safety.

I offer two types of this course:

On a one to one basis which is personally tailored to your needs and can be helpful for those lacking confidence.

The other course consists of being part of 3 in a group and each with take turns to drive the car.  Take a look at the course in action!


Prices


One to one basis: £80
Part of a group: £49

I am fully insured by the MSA for £5.5 million and my car is covered by waverley insurance. I have been CRB checked and hold a City and Guilds in teaching. I am also an ASDAN qualified teacher which involves going into schools and teaching students social issues related to road safety.
